Why the hostility? They've all been announced with published specs. The question was, which is your favorite? Is it that hard to answer?
 
mmm hard one, I love the C7 design (over the N8 and E7), love the N8 camera, internal storage + SD, and love the E7 screen, keyboard and form factor, really hard...

My perfect marriage will be between the C7 and E7, but I think that I will give the N8 a try to see if I can live without my Mini?s keyboard (now with swipe I found myself opening the mini?s keyboard a lot less), if doesn?t work well will go for the E7.

By the way, love to see this kind of thread on S60 forums...really.
 
My ideal answer would be 'E7 with the N8's camera + flash'. Or maybe 'N8 with the E7 keyboard'. I'm guessing I'm not the only one that would be tempted by that combination...
 
I would've loved to see the C6-01 with a HW QWERTY. I love the small dimensions of it, & I am fine with a 3.2in. display. I want an N97 Mini successor with the exact same dimensions or smaller, running S^3.

If I know Nokia, I am betting I might see an N8 Mini+QWERTY or just a Mini E7 by Q1 2011. (fingers crossed)
 
N8! Camera! Nuff said.

@Mobil21: I'm very doubtful that you'll see an N8 clone with QWERTY. Camera optics, xenon flash, and a QWERTY keypad all add to the thickness of the phone, and unfortunately the appetite for substance over style is really quite low in the market these days.
 
for the tiny tiny minority of users who absoluetly have to have a nice camera in their phone I guess they might make the sacrifice and take a look at these. but without carrier support in the US they are going nowhere fast here.
 
You're also projecting your personal feature value-assessments when you imply that a tiny minority of people would prefer the camera feature to the unspecified "sacrificed" features you mention. You can see from the poll results that the N8 is by far the preferred option in the S^3 family on this forum. You can also see in other discussions across the Internet that the camera is a key factor in making the N8 a highly anticipated device. Obviously people are looking for a phone with a great camera and here it is. I think it's going to sell some very nice numbers for Nokia.

That said, I have no doubt that all of these phones will go nowhere in the States. Nokia is pretty clearly not making any effort with them because it has a pretty good idea what various markets want, or at the very least what they don't want. Americans don't want this, with the exception of a select few for whom the option to buy is there. I doubt they'll want MeeGo either, to be honest, but that's another story. Americans want what they're sold and Nokia's not selling S^3 to them so... There's no advertising, no carrier deals, no nothing. That means no America.
